The moon that led her in

Mixed media & oil - 40 x 40 x 4cm (16 x 16in)

"Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast"

“The moon that led her in” is a part of Midnight in Wonderland abstract series exploring the intricate balance between reality and imagination, and the profound depths of Alice in Wonderland, a cherished childhood favourite.

The series explores the endless  tug-of-war between two primal forces within us: the need to remain safe and grounded, and its restless twin - the desire to explore the unknown.

This painting reflects on that tension through the moon’s double nature. Its bright light welcomes Alice into the garden, turning the night into a place of possibilities, curiosity and enchantment. 

Yet the same moon casts shadows that stir a fear of what may be lurking in the darkness.
The moon is both a kind guide and a trickster: it lets Alice and us in, but never promises what might be found.
